LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - The manager of a food stand in a Little Rock mall where one employee was shot and killed and another was critically wounded says one of the suspects is an employee and the other is a former employee.

Bryan Williams, a Sbarro manager, told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (http://bit.ly/14cx3jx ) in a story published Saturday that suspect Deonte Edison was a Sbarro employee, and that Tristan Bryant, who is Williams' nephew, had worked there until about "a week or two ago," when he was "let go."

Police arrested Edison, 18, and Bryant, 20, about three hours after the shooting inside Park Plaza that killed Christian Hayes, 25, and wounded Jashonta Thomas, 18, about 9:30 p.m. Thursday, about 30 minutes after the mall had closed.

Edison and Bryant are jailed without bail for suspicion of capital murder, attempted murder and robbery. Neither has been formally charged.

An attorney for Bryant on unrelated burglary charges did not respond to phone call seeking comment. Police and jail records do not list an attorney for Edison.

According to an arrest report, Thomas, who was shot "numerous times," identified Edison as the person who shot her and Hayes.

The robbers demanded money from Hayes and Thomas, according to police Sgt. Cassandra Davis, and a police report says the robbers fled with an undetermined amount of cash.

Davis declined to say how the robbers are believed to have gotten into the building after closing.

Layth Qassas said he had just finished closing out his register at Quiznos when he and his girlfriend heard several loud bangs, followed about two minutes later by a cry for help from the opposite side of the mall's food court.

Qassas said he found Thomas sitting on the floor, just beyond a door leading to the back of the restaurant and asked if she was OK.

"She said, 'No. We got robbed, and I've been shot,'" Qassas said.

He said he heard six or seven loud bangs, with no pause, and at first didn't believe they were gunshots.

"I said, 'No way. Not in the mall,'" Qassas said.

In a statement, mall owner CBL & Associates Properties Inc., said, "Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims. We are in full cooperation with the Little Rock Police Department during their investigation."
